Method for Removing Impurities from a Liquid by Attracting the Impurities through Absorption and Adsorption

Abstract

A method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption allows impurities to be removed from a quantity of liquid that is contained within a vessel. A required number of purifier devices each including a liquid-permeable sleeve and a quantity of carbon is placed into the vessel and impurities in the quantity of liquid are drawn into the liquid-permeable sleeve and adhered to the quantity of activated carbon through adsorption and absorption. The quantity of carbon is converted to a quantity of activated carbon by actuating the required number of purifier devices within warm water prior to submerging the required number of purifier devices within the quantity of liquid. The required number of purifier devices may be left within the vessel indefinitely or removed from the vessel and cleaned for reuse.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption, the method comprises the steps of:
 (A) providing a plurality of purifier devices, wherein each of the purifier devices comprises a liquid-permeable sleeve and a quantity of carbon, wherein the quantity of carbon is enclosed within the liquid-permeable sleeve;   (B) providing a quantity of liquid, wherein the quantity of liquid is contained within a vessel;   (C) immersing a required number of purifier devices within warm water, wherein the required number of purifier devices is selected from the plurality of purifier devices;   (D) converting the quantity of carbon to a quantity of activated carbon by actuating the required number of purifier devices within the warm water;   (E) submerging the required number of purifier devices within the quantity of liquid for a time duration in order to purify the quantity of liquid; and   (F) removing the required number of purifier devices from the quantity of liquid after the time duration.   
     
     
         2 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , the method comprises the steps of:
 providing a liquid volume for the quantity of liquid;   providing a purification ratio for the plurality of purifier devices and the quantity of liquid, wherein the purification ratio is one purifier device for each 1.75 liters of liquid; and   multiplying the liquid volume by the purification ratio in order to calculate the required number of purifier devices for the quantity of liquid.   
     
     
         3 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , the method comprises the steps of:
 drawing impurities into the liquid-permeable sleeve in order to remove the impurities from the quantity of liquid;   dissolving the impurities through the quantity of activated carbon; and   adhering the impurities to the quantity of activated carbon.   
     
     
         4 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the quantity of liquid is a wine and the time duration is in between 4 hours and 6 hours. 
     
     
         5 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the quantity of liquid is a liquor and the time duration is in between 24 hours and 48 hours. 
     
     
         6 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the quantity of liquid is water, the vessel is a water boiling apparatus, and the time duration is approximately 12 hours. 
     
     
         7 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , the method comprises the step of:
 cleaning the required number of purifier devices by immersing the required number of purifier devices within warm water after step (F).   
     
     
         8 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-impermeable sleeve is composed of a dimensionally-stable material at a temperature range of −35° F. to 390° F. 
     
     
         9 . The method for removing impurities from a liquid by attracting the impurities through absorption and adsorption as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the quantity of carbon is approximately 10 grams for each of the plurality of purifier devices.
